Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.OfficeNavigationBarViewMode	Default	An DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.OfficeNavigationBarViewMode enumeration value that specifies how to display items and highlight the active item.

Remarks

Use the ViewMode property to specify how the Office Navigation Bar is displayed:

• Default — the same as Office;

• Office — the Office 2013-inspired view that supports borderless buttons;

  

• Tab — the Office 2019-inspired view that supports animated underlines highlighting the active item;

  

  The OfficeNavigationBar.OptionsTabView property provides access to tab view options.

  The customization button (see OfficeNavigationBar.CustomizationButtonVisibility) is hidden in this mode by default.

• Skinned — the active item is highlighted using a background color that depends on the current skin.
